How Do I Check My UpWork Badge?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 11:56 am

UpWork offers a great way for freelancers to connect with clients and get work done online. But, like any online marketplace, there are always going to be a few bad apples. To help make sure you’re working with a reputable freelancer, UpWork offers badges.

Badges are awarded to freelancers who have been verified by UpWork. To get a badge, a freelancer must:

  • Connect their profile to a real world identity
  • Submit an ID for verification
  • Verify their phone number
  • Complete an UpWork Readiness Test

If you’re considering working with a freelancer on UpWork, be sure to check for badges. Here’s how:

1. On the freelancer’s profile page, look for the Badges section.

2. If the freelancer has any badges, they will be listed here with a description of what the badge means.

3. If the freelancer does not have any badges, that’s a red flag and you may want to consider working with someone else.

Conclusion:

Checking a UpWork badge is simple and easy. All you have to do is go onto the freelancers profile page and look for the Badges section.

If they have any badges, it will be listed there with a description of what the badge means. If the freelancer does not have any badges, that’s a red flag and you may want to consider working with someone else.
